Let your creative side out. Work alongside professionals and other young people to create an exciting range of music, musical activities and events of your choice!

COLLABORATE

Be inspired. Take the opportunity to put all those skills into practice by creating your own project or event!

As a Plugged In member, you will be invited to your local meetings which take place around the county, gaining access to music industry professionals who can advise you on a range of different music careers, getting your music heard, where you can improve your music-making and loads more!

Professional Opportunity and Developments (PODs)

NYMAZ PODs are short courses and experiences for groups of young people interested in developing and gaining experience in a range of different music industry roles. It’s also a chance to try out different music making skills and techniques. PODs can take different formats including weekly sessions over 4-6 weeks and one off workshops. The sessions can be online, in-person or a hybrid format.

Have an idea for a music project or event? Bring along your ideas and NYMAZ might be able to help you make it happen! YOU will help shape the programme, and the way NYMAZ makes decisions, by contributing your ideas and opinions at the sessions, through online surveys and at events.

Your voice matters, and we want to hear it!
